I freelance in in tv, film, and theater, and part of the gigs I get are doing scenic carpentry – outside of that I have no formal carpentry training.

A co-worker asked me to build a “Tetris” themed end table and 2 seats set, and I’m wondering if/how I should add feet to the bottom of the pieces to help them slide across the floor. I think it would be nice if you could relatively easily slide the 3 pieces around across the floor, instead of having to pick them up to move them where you want them. Not sure yet what kind of floor this will be on.

Does adding feet help furniture pieces slide across the floor?

If so, any suggestions on the best way to do this? I imagine it would be good to add some kind of fabric to the bottom of the feet?

I found these two diy articles on making feet and I wonder what you guys think:
